The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the coast. Looks like we've got a bit of a mixed bag on our hands for the next couple of weeks, so let's get into it.
The first real opportunity to get wet is this Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. We've got a clean 5ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds, and a light NNE cross-offshore breeze. It's not gonna be perfect, but it's surfable and the conditions are clean. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 381. The afternoon drops a bit in size, but stays clean.
Thursday the 23rd is a write-off with onshore wind and poor conditions, so give it a miss. Friday the 24th is too small in the morning, and the afternoon gets messy.
Now, Saturday the 25th has a bit more punch. The morning brings in a clean 5ft swell from the south, with a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is light cross-onshore, which puts a bit of a wrinkle on it. The combined energy is strong at 522. It's a bit of a "maybe" session, not the best.
The standout on the menu is Monday the 27th of July. The morning is looking prime with a clean 4ft south swell, a solid 12-second period, and a light offshore wind from the NE. This is proper groundswell, and with offshore wind, it'll be clean and have some push. The combined energy is moderate at 471. Keep in mind, this is a longer period swell, so it'll be better for the points and reefs, and it might be a bit too straight for the beach breaks. Jaconé is a consistent spot, so there should be waves, but it can get busy sometimes, so expect a few heads in the water.
After that, the surf drops off. Tuesday the 28th has a tiny glassy morning, but it's only 2ft. The rest of the week and into the weekend is small, with a lot of poor onshore wind days. There's a gap of several days with no real recommendations.
We do have a promising long-range forecast. Wednesday the 5th of August morning looks clean with a 3ft SE swell and offshore winds, and Thursday the 6th of August morning is also looking good with a 4ft SE swell and glassy conditions. Both of these have moderate energy and clean conditions. However, they're a couple of weeks out, so don't book the trip just yet, but it's worth keeping an eye on.
So, to sum it up, the best on offer is Monday the 27th of July morning. Get on it while you can. The rest of the window is pretty quiet, but there's a flicker of hope for the first week of August.
Rusty.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
